Barb, I think of all those times we would run in to you and Tony while we both were visiting in Washington. Tony was such a delightful and kind guy. You two were a perfect couple. My sincere sympathy.
Barb I so enjoyed Tony’s visits talking about his guitar playing and seeing him smile. You both were a joy to talk with . I am in shock and so sad for your loss! Hold his memory close! hugs!!

We will always adore you and Tony. I’m so sorry all of us lost him. Hugs to you always Barb.
We were best friends for 61 years. Tony and his wonderful wife Barb always made me and my family feel that we were their family. And he and Barb were ours. God Bless you.

Celebrate Tony’s life knowing what a wonderful husband and soulmate he has been. He will be missed as he has touched so many. Our sincere Condolences,

Tony was an amazing classy guy who always had a smile on his face. He had a warm and caring nature about him that was infectuous and was just one of those people that you could always feel comfortable around. He will certainly be missed by all who knew and loved him.
A classmate at Trinity High School, Tony always had a smile and a good word for everyone. He will be missed. My thoughts and prayers to his family.
Barb, you and Tony had an amazing marriage and friendship. You were an inspiration to all who knew you. Keep your memories close and know that one day you will be reunited. ❤️ love and 🫂 hugs.
We are holding you close in our hearts, our prayers & in our love for you, dear Barb, as you make the very difficult journey through loss & grief. Our sweet friend was taken away from you — & all who loved him dearly— much too soon. God bless you & grant you His everlasting peace, honey!
I met Tony seven years ago at Barb’s 50th high school reunion and instantly knew I had a friend, he was that kind of guy. Like anyone who knew Tony, I wish I had more time with him. If I had to define him in a single word it would be GENTLEMAN in every sense of the word. Most importantly, he was a gentle man. Our world just lost a great friend, a good man and a wonderful husband. May he rest in eternal piece. Allan
Sending my condolences to Tony wife and family. A classmate 1964 and always a smile on his face.
